Description

The Kampfpanzer 75 Ausf.F is a heavy tank produced by the Hosh Empire as part of the Armor Standardization Act in 1943.

The Kampfpanzer 75 and its siblings in the Armor Standardization Act were one of the first Hosh-designed tanks to not follow the 'land battleship' design philosophy, featuring only one turret armed with a single 71-caliber 8.8cm high-velocity gun. This series of tanks were proposed in 1942 as a result of the State Security Service being unable to prevent leaking reports of previous multi-turreted and multi-gun tanks suffering from severe blind spots and weaknesses such as being too complex to be field-repaired. 

The purpose of the Armor Standardization Act is to mimic the layout of other contemporary tanks in the hopes of outperforming them. The main draws of the Act include sloped armor to increase survivability, better performing engines that wouldn't need to be refueled every twelve miles the tank travels, and general design simplicity so it would be possible for tank crews to repair damages that would otherwise effectively knock out Hosh multi-turreted tanks. 

The Kampfpanzer 75 Ausf.F was the first variant that was combat ready in the summer of 1943. The Kampfpanzer 75 quickly became infamous among the coalition forces as a near invincible juggernaut with its 200mm of front armor in addition to a curved which added between 25-75mm of armor. Most if not all losses of the Kampfpanzer 75 and its variants can be attributed to running over 500lb anti-tank mines or air support.

As you can probably tell from the paint scheme i've been playing some Valkyria Chronicles III again. Also I love how the tracks look now despite having less polys than the ones i normally use. I'll probably be using these for my Hosh tanks from now on
